Why would you leave software? Sitting down and working in silence and thinking is still a very rare and valuable skill, the talking part is not so much.

If AI solves all coding and software then we are not going to sit around talking, it will be the time to sit down and do some very complex deep work that needs silence, concentration and understanding.

For you it will be paradise, you can also just point all the people to talk with your agent instead of you.

I liked the coding part.

Have you worked at a big tech company?

You can still code the interesting parts. We all need some mental gymnastic to keep up. Leetcode or writing the parts that interests you, it doesn't matter.

Yes I worked, almost for a decade. I know everybody loves talking there, but that was true before AI as well. Good thing is that with AI, big tech is going away. Who needs 5 layers of management when 5 guys can replicate their product.
